CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI (LX0-104) — Question 32

Which of the following is observed and corrected by a NTP client?

Answer options

• A. The skew in time between the system clock and the hardware clock.
• B. The skew in time between the system clock and the reference clock.
• C. Changes in the time zone of the current computer's location.
• D. Adjustments needed to support Daylight Saving Time.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the NTP client is responsible for synchronizing the system clock with a reference clock to ensure accurate timekeeping. Options A, C, and D do not pertain to the primary function of an NTP client, as they involve hardware clock discrepancies, time zone changes, and Daylight Saving Time adjustments, respectively.
